to become the foremost prophet
and religious leader of the exile.
While we do not know much
about Ezekiel, it is believed that
he was of high rank, the son of
a priest and probably trained to
be a religious leader. He ranks
with the great prophets of the
Old Testament and is regarded
by many as the parent of latter-
day Judaism.
While the life of the Jewish
people as exiles was not par-
ticularly burdensome, they nat-
urally longed for the time to
come when they could return to
their own land and to their be-
loved Jerusalem. For a time there
was a spirit of optimism among
them, believing that the dire pro-
phecies of Jeremiah would not
be fulfilled and they would soon
be able to go home.
However, when news came to
them thjpt! Jerusalem had 'been
destroyed and with it, the temple
also was demolished, the people
realized the truths of the prophe-
cies of Jeremiah and the teach-
ing of Ezekiel and were convinc-
ed, finally that because of their
sin against God they were being
punished.
Eventhough he knew his mes-
sages were very unpopular with
the pepople and often preached to
willfully deaf ears, Ezekiel con-
tinued to deliver the messages
which he received from God him-
self. The messages were not
such as to give pleasure to his
hearers, but he had the courage
to say the things he believed God
wanted him to say. God sent him
up as a watchman to the people
to deliver the warnings to them in

J. II. Jowett declares: “We
have not always to indulge in
quieting words of comfort; we
are to use the clarion and arouse
men out of sleep. But our re-
proof must be backed by our
lives. Our condemnation must
be percaded by grace. We must
not move among men as critics
and cynics, but as friends who
honestly seek their good. Our
swords must be dipjmd into the
healing virtues of love. Our re-
proofs must be medicated and so
heal the very wounds they make.
Surely this is a ministry worthy
of the followers of Christ—to do
the difficult thing, and to speak
the difficult word. One thing is
very sure: the world is waiting
for such disciples.”
PETROLEUM
Max W. Ball, head of the oil
and gas division of the Depart-
ment of Interior, in a report on
the petroleum outlook, warned
motorists to save gasoline now
or face ’a crippling shortage this
summer. Homes using : oil for
fuel must also conserve, he said,
or both homes arid some indus-
tries will be on short ration next
winter. This country conshmes
53 per cent of the world’s output
of oil but has only 31 per cent of
the world reserves and “cannot
indefinitely” produce more than
60 per cent of the world output.
are from Mexico.
ARMED FORCES
Secretary of Defense James V.
Forrestal has indicated to Con-
gress that the armed forces want
to bring their combined strength
up to the ceiling set by Congress
which for the Army, Air Force,
Navy and Marines adds up to 1,-
732,000. Actually they have 1,-
392,000 men at the present time.
The Defense Secretary believes
that a draft is the only Avay to
get the additional 350,000 men
needed.
NEW HOMES
Home builders began work on
47,000 new dwellings in Feburary
despite .unfavorable weather, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. This figure was six
per cent below the January total
but was 7 per cent above that of
February, 1947. All but* 1,000 of
the neAV units were privitely fi-
nanced.
